Ways we can support your writing

Whether you’re stuck mid-draft, itching to finally finish that novel or craving a day of calm to just write, Savvy Writers' founder, Tracy Buchanan, can offer practical, down-to-earth support to help you move forward. Below is how she can help...

Mentoring for Authors

Writing a novel is hard. Publishing it is harder. I’ve been through it all — pre-empt deals, bestseller highs, track wobbles, the lot. I've had books published around the world with publishers ranging from HarperCollins and Random House to Bookouture and Amazon Publishing. Several of my books have been bestsellers and my new crime series was bought at auction by Bonnier Books. I now mentor a small number of authors each month who want honest, expert guidance without the fluff.

​

Monthly Mentoring – £150/month

  • One 60-minute Zoom session

  • Verbal feedback on up to 5,000 words of your work

  • Ongoing email support

​

And when you become a mentee, you will get free access to my paid-for Substack posts, as well as a discount on day retreats.

Need a proper writing day away from the chaos of life? Come join me and a small group of fellow writers at a beautiful converted barn in the Northamptonshire countryside. You’ll have the full day to write in peace, with cake, lunch and Prosecco (if you’re into that).

No pressure, no sharing (unless you want to), just writing and connection.

​

Next date: Friday 5 September – £75
Limited places. Booking essential.

Free Writing Advice

I also run a Substack where I share insider tips, hard truths and encouragement for authors navigating this wild industry. I post regular free content alongside more in-depth guides and full archive access for paid subscriptions.
